I'll Fly Away
by Jars of Clay
Some bright morning when this life is over,
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
Oh how glad and happy when we meet,
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away
To a land where joy will never end,
I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallellujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
You're free now, Grandpa,
no longer bounded by the limitations of your body.
Free to walk, talk, run, fly.
You fought the good fight,you ran the race, you kept the faith.
For eternity with Christ,
You're finally home.
